THE BOY WILL DROWN SIGNS WITH EARACHE

EARACHE is proud to announce the signing of British technical metallers THE
BOY WILL DROWN to a multi-album, worldwide recording deal.

THE BOY WILL DROWN are a four-piece band based in Norwich/Colchester in the
UK who formed in late 2006. Currently regarded as one of the most
flamboyant and intense bands in the UK, they play a vicious blend of
technical and experimental music based around grindcore and death metal.
Refusing to play "sugar-coated" metal like so many other bands, THE BOY WILL
DROWN do everything in their power to mesmerise and pulverise the listener,
whilst simultaneously injecting an element of humour, fun and youth into the
otherwise serious face of the extreme metal genre. Drawing influence from
such bands as DECAPITATED, NECROPHAGIST and PSYOPUS, THE BOY WILL DROWN
create music that's technically breathtaking, with punishing metal riffage,
yet still retains that "groove" factor.

Check out some tracks from THE BOY WILL DROWN at www.myspace.com/tbwd
<http://www.myspace.com/tbwd>

With an ever-growing fanbase eagerly awaiting their first full-length
release, THE BOY WILL DROWN are set to follow in the path of their idols
DECAPITATED and enter Hertz Studios in Poland this October to record their
debut album.

ORDER OF ENNEAD REVEAL SONG TITLES AND MEANINGS

ORDER OF ENNEAD, the recently-formed Floridian extreme metal band featuring
DEICIDE drummer STEVE ASHEIM along with SCOTT PATRICK (bass), KEVIN QUIRION
(vocals, guitar) and JOHN LI (guitar), have revealed song titles from their
upcoming debut album. Vocalist and guitarist KEVIN QUIRION describes the
meanings behind the songs:

"Seeking The Prophets"
There are no prophets, just men who claim to be. In this song, we are
searching for "prophets" to have a discussion with and to poke holes in
their claims of guidance from deities. Also mentioned is the suggestion that
we should not wait for something horrific to happen to someone close to
appreciate them.

"Reflection, An Endless Endeavor"
With this piece we are exploring faith and how willing we are to accept it
for the sake of acceptance. Religion is man made and so is the concept of
good and evil. The hypocrisy of religious wars and betrayal is also touched
upon.

"As Long As I Have Myself I Am Not Alone"
If you can't trust yourself then can you truly trust someone else? If you
don't know who you are can you attempt to know another? Become one with who
you are and accept it and you'll never need to rely on others.

"The Culling"
This one is about getting rid of those who bring you down and ridding
yourself of destructive habits. Distancing yourself from negativity and
those that are negative. The abolishment of those who are non-supportive.

"Introspection And The Loss Of Denial"
Here we attempt to identify the negativity and to find balance in life
through acceptance of our shortcomings. Destruction of the ego and embracing
humility.

"Conferring With Demons"
These are not physical demons, but ones of an inner nature. Find the deepest
core of yourself so you can flourish and not be your own worse enemy.

"A Cry To The Perilous Sun"
The sun has been worshiped since there has been man. Here we are crying out
to the sun, a metaphor for our creator(whatever that may be), for answers as
to why we are here and how it has the answers, but refuses to give us an
explanation of life and purpose.

"As If A Rose I Wither"
The exploration of dying and the deterioration of the mind. Looking into a
mirror and not recognizing yourself. How no matter what you accomplish the
only guarantee we have is death.

"Dismantling An Empire"
This is the only track that deals with a topic not of an interior nature.
The overthrow of a dictator. The praise of those who have died to preserve
our freedoms. The ability to look past yourself.

ORDER OF ENNEAD's self-titled debut album is being recorded at Audio Hammer
Studios in Sanford, Florida with the help of MARK LEWIS, and is due to be
released by EARACHE RECORDS in October, followed by widespread touring.

years to come.

ANATA CHECK IN FROM THE STUDIO

Swedish death metal masters ANATA, who are currently recording their as-yet
untitled upcoming new album, have decided to do things differently this time
around. In vocalist/guitarist FREDRIK SCHALIN's words, "Why waste money in
the studio, let's buy their equipment instead!"

SCHALIN and bassist HENRIK DRAKE reveal details of the recording method,
some of the band's new bass and guitar gear and info about a new song in
their new studio report.

FREDRIK SCHALIN comments: "On the previous album, we chose to record only
clean, lined guitar tracks. We did this in order to make up the final sound
later, in a process called re-amping. Although the sound may have ended up a
bit too mellow on that album, the recording technique is ingenious. And
since we always throw the studio guys out anyway (and do all the tracking
ourselves), we thought this time we should instead set up a temporary
recording unit at my place. So we bought the Motu 2408 sound card we had
previously used in Studiomega, set some computers and pre-amps up and
started recording."

found at

Following on from 2006's THE CONDUCTOR'S DEPARTURE, ANATA's as-yet-untitled
fifth full-length album is being recorded in two locations, with the drums
being recorded at Fascination Street Studios (OPETH, AMON AMARTH, PARADISE
LOST) in Orebro, Sweden, while the guitars, bass and vocals will all be
recorded by the band themselves with their own equipment.

ANATA have revealed a tentative track listing for the follow-up to 2006's
THE CONDUCTOR'S DEPARTURE, in no particular order:

Lanterns Shine Black
Acts Of God
The Darkest Of Souls
The Part Of Me That Had To Die
A Welcome Change Of Pain
Machinery
Exploited And Left To Die
Greed Conquers All
